BRDC is excited to announce the 2nd Annual BRDC Science Fair to be held December 8th, 2017 in partnership with Grayson County Public Schools! All 6th and 7th-grade students in Grayson County Public Schools are included. In the future, we aim to include more grades and expand the opportunity to focus on critical thinking skills.

The Science fair is a chance for students to exercise their creative thinking skills, follow their curiosity, learn more about their interests and share their discoveries with others. Project questions arise from the participant’s experience and context, and students are encouraged to tackle challenges related to the Blue Ridge region.

Get Involved!

In order to provide assistance to students in developing their projects, BRDC is looking for mentors to assist with concepts and procedures. Volunteer judges are also needed for the day of the event. Interested community members can contact BRDC at info@blueridgediscoverycenter.org, or 276-293-1232.
